Hi guys,

I want to create variable on the fly: for example


See

        ?assign

HTH,

for (i in 1:10) {
   cat(paste("VAR",i,sep=""))
}
Will print VAR1, VAR2 etc up to VAR10. However I want to make these into
variables, and then give them a value, for example:

vect = c(10:20)

for (i in 1:10) {
   cat(paste("VAR",i,sep="")) = vect[i]
}

THis doesnt work but I hope it demonstrates what I'm trying to do: I'm
trying to produce 10 variables, from VAR1 to VAR10, which have the numbers
11...20 respectively, so I would end up with

VAR1 = 11
VAR2 = 12
...
VAR10 = 20

Hope this makes sense!! Does anyone have any ideas?
